Oh, you write his HTML? I thought he would write it himself. I know he reads HTML, as that's how I've seen him read webpages. I know he has volunteers to help install his polnotes. I didn't know others did the rest of the website for him.

  He does do some html but generally he just provides things in plane text with maybe a little html markup in it.

Since you asked, in Firefox, do a view source on this page. It will helpfully highlight errors in red. I see 4: No "--" in comments. (twice) Missing equals: <li id"faux"> Missing space: <ahref="/uber.html">

  I wasn't aware that Firefox view src had that. Cool, thanks. I fixed those and fixed one more that was hidden by one of those typos.

Links should have a different colored :hover state (accessibility concerns) and there is a typo for the font-size of the `vol` class. Not sure if you're in charge of the CSS as well. :) .vol { margin-left: 5%; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size=2.5em; // = should be : }

  I didn't write too much of the css, but I do still take care of it. Not idea how that = instead of : slipped in. Even I'm not normally that bad with css (and emacs syntax highlighting even makes it clear that what was there was wrong). So I fixed that bit. I agree about the :hover state for accessibility but since that touches the entire site (or at least should) and we already have some :hover stuff on the certain elements it requires a little thought/experimenting (more than I have time for this afternoon anyway).
